(it was handheld with lanthanum first version of lens. Please feel free to enlarge it, there are multiple details there and a rather small amount of noise)
Roman Catholic Church of St. Alexander, main entrances for upper and lower church interiors. Both has independent Chancels, which are used separately at the same time.
This building was told to be going to be demolished some time ago. It is frontal-right side of building. There are still argues about architectonic style of this building but none of Polish architects tells it is an brilliant or pure example of any stylish manner.
This building was told to be going to be demolished some time ago. It is an shot of frontal-left side of building. It was told to be one of most interesting building, which has made in time of People's Republic of Poland.
I value the render (the sharpness and the bokeh) of this lens very high. It handles flare very well for single-layer coated glass. This picture is merged with 2x2 matrix of elementary shots.
It is a frontier of Warsaw, district of Włochy. There were a small amount of light and quite strong wind, so everything is floating (include rear lens group).
The Wola massacre ("Wola slaughter") was the systematic killing of around 40,000-50,000 people by Nazi troops during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. Between 5–12 August 1944, tens of thousands of Polish civilians along with captured resistance fighters were indiscriminately shot or killed in organized mass executions throughout the Wola district of the Polish capital Warsaw. The action was designed to crush the Poles' will to fight and put the uprising to an end without having to commit to heavy city fightin
(It is handheld. I was unable to shot it with 24mm, cause very aggressive street light here, which was engaging my frame every-time I tried to shot it. For better performance at corners I need tripod and ISO100, it is not due to lens resolution, it is due to sensor low dynamic range at ISO800)
Comparing this photo at f/22 with other taken with the same frame but lower aperture settings like f/4, f/5.6, f/11 - I am starting to believe that diffraction isn't always a main problem. This with f/22 is the best. I hope to compare the yield of Sonnar 2.8/200 MC with Sonnar 4/180 CF at the same frame.
It was too cold for me, nine degree of Celcius bellow center of the scale, with high moisture and wind. Even in photographical gloves, my hands were shaking so I had to push up shutter speed to 1/500.
Working with TTL lightmeter is problematic with such a scene (and NEX-7), so I used manual mode for shotting here. I believe it delivered much better outcome than semiautomatic modes of shotting (like A/S) and full automatic (P mode).
I am encharmed with this lens. As You mind to see, it is very sharp wide open. It has amazing color rendering and legendary bokeh..I hope I a few more photos with this lens.<br />
(Why Biotar 2/58 is discontinued but eg.Sonnar 1.5/50 is still manufactured? I know that there is close construction like ZM Planar 2/50, but it is shorter than short-tele like 58-60mm (87-90 eqv.) and more symmetrically designed..moreover, it still doesn't have that kind of bokeh). IMHO Biotar 2/58 is best Carl Zeiss Fifthy for Nex-7
There was great accident on main street of my district, with many cars and few pedestrians. Police halt all car's traffic, people traveled only by foot, I have to walk home too after work. Police opened traffic after four hours.
